To investigate the influence of distillation time on the extraction yield, chemical composition and antioxidant activity of essential oil from Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth., essential oil from Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. growing in Guangxi with the 0~10, 10~30, 30~60, and 60~360 min distillation were obtained through hydrodistillation, analyzed by GC-MS for chemical composition, and evaluated via 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine free radical (DPPH•) and diammonium 2,2'-azino-bis(3-thylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cationic free radical (ABTS+•) scavenging assay for the antioxidant capacity. The results showed that the essential oil collected at 0~10, 10~30, 30~60 and 60~360 min distillation periods exhibited an extraction rate of 0.14%±0.01%, 0.18%±0.01%, 0.20%±0.02%, and 0.57%±0.03%, respectively, while displayed same main components belonging to sesquiterpenoids, including patchouli alcohol, patchoulone, α-bulnesene and seychellene. Among them, patchouli alcohol was of the highest relative content, with the relative content in the four distillation periods of 49.22%, 50.82%, 50.47%, and 39.07%, respectively. The median inhibition concentration (IC50) of essential oils for DPPH•were 21.75, 12.45, 12.03, and 3.54 g/L, while those for ABTS+• were 13.91, 8.62, 8.00, and 3.02 g/L, respectively. The essential oil from Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth collected at 60~360 min exhibited the strongest DPPH• and ABTS+• scavenging capacities among the four distillation periods, while that collected at 0~10 min showed the weakest.
